"If one person could overturn an entire lower-dimensional cosmos and allow these newborns to survive, very few could do that, right?"

Some people praise it, while others criticize it.

[Because you're not just a simple super genius; what you did on that abandoned mining planet couldn't be hidden if someone were to investigate.]

"A bloodthirsty and cruel executioner! He's killed at least four or five hundred people! Is it really a good idea to keep this kind of killer in the airspace?"

[“I heard he’s a ladybug, and once had a one-night stand with 38 women. It’s truly enviable… no, I mean, outrageous! Does someone like that really have the perseverance to continue studying at a mecha academy?”]

"That's a junior college, full of academic high-achievers who are completely focused on computers. How can people who like to mess around with relationships and fight be allowed in?"

The various types of competitions that follow have probably overwhelmed you.

[The classic kind: 100 people are thrown into a free-for-all on a map, and the last 20 survivors advance.]

[There is also a virtual mountain map filled with various rare materials. The deeper you go, the more rare materials you can obtain, which can be used to manually modify the mechs.]

Once enough materials have been collected, players can exit the mountain range through one of the 20 entrances, thus concluding this round of the bonus tournament with no eliminations.

Then you silently appeared at the exit of this mountain range map, used precognition to determine which road was being traversed by people returning laden with supplies, blocked their path, and began stealing their materials.

"There's a dog blocking the road! There's a dog blocking the road on Highway 18!"

[You didn't seem to care that after clearing this mountain path, you quickly moved on to the next one, where several other people who had just returned, having collected all their resources.]

"Sure enough, blocking roads and seizing resources is a quick way to make money. It's much easier than running in and painstakingly collecting resources yourself."

When the number of participants dropped to one million, a round-robin tournament began.

[The group consists of ten people, and each person must play against each other once. The two people with the highest winning percentage advance.]

The round-robin tournament is based on skill level, meaning the AI ​​system automatically calculates skill based on previous performances. The first-place player is grouped with the 100,001st, 200,001st, and so on up to the 900,001st; similarly, the 50,000th and 150,000th place players are grouped with each other up to the 950,000th.

Therefore, although it's a round-robin tournament where ten teams advance to the top two, the strength and weakness have already been determined. It's almost impossible for someone whose actual ability is outside the top 800,000 or 900,000 to be lucky enough to be placed in a weaker group and thus advance to the top 200,000.

[Unless someone didn't show their full strength beforehand, causing a system misjudgment, the winners were already determined during the group stage.]

Looking at your nine opponents in your ten-person team, you're somewhat surprised. Two of them are wearing exoskeletons; one's performance has been enhanced to over 400 using advanced materials, and the other's is close to 700.

"Even with over ten thousand second-realm students wearing mechs, they were still outmatched by first-realm students...emmm, it's possible they were caught in the crossfire and injured during the previous chaotic battle."

[You are undoubtedly the best in this group. The person next to you is only a few hundredths and a few hundredths away, a difference in skill that can only be described as hopeless.]

[Two hundred thousand becomes five thousand, five thousand becomes ten thousand.]

You really got to enjoy yourself.

"It's a pity, this is ultimately just the airspace within the Yuantian Realm, not the vast starry sky of the universe."

On March 19th, the 10,000 most outstanding freshmen from across the entire airspace boarded the Extreme Energy Vacuum Train and headed to Mogan Province.

A dazzlingly prosperous metropolis appears before your eyes, a world of cutting-edge technology.

[Before boarding the train, you used a portal to the real world, casting a series of spells to conceal your presence.]

Otherwise, with your current cultivation levels across various systems, you might be confident in fooling a small place like Changqing University, but you're not confident in fooling the four realm pilots who are watching this competition.

You begin to mentally calculate what will happen next.

"After winning the mecha battle competition, I can transfer to a good junior college and study for three years. After graduating at the peak of the third or even fourth realm, I can then fight a wave of Abyss Zones, clear out the lower layer of the Abyss Zone, and then I will have cleared the Sky Domain."

But an unexpected event occurred.

[After the top 10,000 freshmen enter the venue and exchange greetings with the referees and the attending mecha warriors, they will enter the high-end virtual pods to begin the next round of competition.]

However, as a freshman greets you and passes by, he suddenly attacks, taking out a light-energy gun from his spatial ring and firing at you.

"Holy crap!" At most, you can only foresee the future while fighting enemies in the simulator. How could you possibly keep that foresight active in this situation?

[Attack a contestant right under the nose of Mech Warrior? Are you out of your mind?!]

But some people actually did it.

The energy ray was emitted almost right next to you; it hit your forehead in less than a ten-thousandth of a second.

You feel as if someone is using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight onto your forehead in the middle of summer, burning it intensely.

"A level 32 energy gun?! What audacity!"

[The Mech Master made a move, and the freshman was instantly subdued. Even without his mech armor, the Mech Master was at least equivalent to a mid-stage Overlord.]

The entire room was in chaos; you realized the situation was getting serious.

[If you had dodged that ray in time, it would have been fine, but the problem is you were hit!]

"...I thought it was an identity check, and that they were exposed because they upgraded too quickly. Turns out it was because of this?"

[The fact that it could cause you, at your current level, to feel pain between your eyebrows means that a normal peak-level third-realm pilot would have had their head pierced by the bullet! But you're only at the peak of the second realm, yet you managed to block that attack perfectly!]

[Since a serious and egregious incident has occurred, the freshman naturally needs to be dealt with. Following the trail, it was discovered that the person who instigated him to do this was Shen Ping, this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination.]

Shen Ping believes you pose a significant threat to his future prospects in winning various college awards and enhancing his reputation, jeopardizing his position as a leading pilot of his generation.

[And since you have no connections now, few people will investigate, so the family intervened, influencing that freshman through various factors, and launched a suicidal attack on you.]

"It was my turn to be set up. I wanted to take the college entrance exam, but I was assassinated by someone sent by the young master of a prestigious family."
